Ik hope you can buy this one someday / somewhere. :(

it's quite interesting that despite lipos being much lighter than previous generations of batteries, they are still trying to push the weight as far forwards as possible..

..and why the do not turn around the slipper axle the other way next to the motor with all the space there instead of having it sticking out over the speedo.

the belt would hit the motor

he means leave all the pulleys where they are and just turn the layshaft 180deg so the spring, etc sticks out the motor side instead of right where your speedo is.

Tamiya is still sticking on the 511X instead of the 502X...... belt vs shaft in offroad tracks......which one is better ??

When I was a holder of 502x: Thumbsup:: Thumbsup: say it's better in off-road shaft drive rather than the straps. But do not you have some pictures of the complete machine?: Confuso:: Confuso:

All other makes run shaft drive. I have 502X and love it. At the time I had the opportunity to either buy it or the 511X. I choose 502X for easier maintenance as I run on dirt tracks. Sealed diffs are much better. for lower maintenance.

However, at the level Lee Martin is running at, if he prefers belt drive, then so be it! All the reasons I have a 502X are not relevant at that level:lol:

The TRF team used a different front suspension plate (carbon) to run a different kick up. Anyone knows how much kick-up they used at the worlds?

Arn0 thanks for this link

guess this is not happening anymore since tamiya pulled out of their offroad program......ashame....:thumbdown:

Sucks.... I'm hoping that they do end up making this... but ... I think we are going to be waiting a long time :cry::bored:

Don't be so sure... ;)

Really!!:drool::woot:

OOoooOOOHHHHH when when when do we know

I'm sure we'll all find out in due time...
Remember Nurnberg is in just one months time...perhaps we find out more then?
511 (displayed first at Nurnberg) release was March/April I think back in 2009.

#503 :)

:thumbsup: keeping everything crossed

I see what you did there:p:D

Well lets hope so because I have fingers crossed that it does come out !!:drool:
